Mr. Leandro: Feet sweat a half pint daily. 

Stephen: Why do they sweat that much?
Mr. Leandro: To keep the feet moist so the skin doesn't dry up.

Stephen: What happens to sweat after our feet sweat?
Mr. Leandro: The shoe absorbs it and then evaporates it.

Stephen: Where are most of the sweat glands on our feet?
Mr. Leandro: The bottom.

Stephen: Are feet the parts of the body that sweat the most?

Mr. Leandro: Sure, absolutely.
